Today's Flickr photo with the most hits continues the run of archaeological popularity. It shows the Temple of Apollo Epikourios, at Bassae.
The same trip that took me to Messene and Sparta also brought me here.
In a remote part of the Peloponnese, surrounded by mountains, sits this 5th BCE temple. It was designed by Iktinus (of Parthenon fame) and - uniquely - features columns in all three orders - Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. It is the first building to use the Corinthian order.
Undergoing restoration, the temple is shrouded in a great canopy. I don't know if it will ever re-emerge into the daylight. One would hope so.
The first glimpse you get of the site is of the canopy on a far-distant horizon - it shows as a small, white speck, slightly to the right of centre in the first photo.
When you arrive and go inside, the temple begins to show its grandeur. It's small but shows impressive preservation, and clearly merits the lavish attention it is receiving. The third photo shows the pronaos and part of the peripteral columns (Doric). And a worker enjoying his spanakotyropita!
